Judy Burhop

Judy Burhop passed away on Jan. 2, 2022, at the age of 78 surrounded by her loving family.

Judy was born on April 9, 1943, to the late Ernst H. and Hilda E. (nee Nehrbass) Diedrich and raised in Cedarburg.

She married Robert Burhop on May 30, 1964, and moved to Grafton in 1971, where they raised their two children.

Judy enjoyed taking trips that included years of camping with friends and family. Sitting around campfires, playing cards and enjoying time with her family were her most cherished times. She loved and adored her grandchildren; they were her world. Her motto was “dessert first” and the answer to every question was Chocolate!

Judy was the beloved wife of Robert Burhop for 57 years; the mother of her adored children  Brian (Renee) Burhop and Brenda (Randy) Knutson; loving grandmother to grandchildren Brent (Danielle) Burhop, Breanne (Luke) Gahagan, Brendan (Kayla Mueller) Burhop, Kailey (Carter Jenatscheck) Knutson, Cade Knutson and Kinzie Knutson; great-grandmother to her precious great-grandchildren Addison Repinski, Jennifer Burhop, Melanie Burhop and Ryder Burhop; dear sister of twins John (Jean) Diedrich and the late Rodger Diedrich; and sister-in-law of Kathie (the late Arnold) Mezera and Sandra Burhop.

Judy was preceded in death by her parents Ernst and Hilda Diedrich and parents-in-law Carl and Arline Burhop.

She is further survived by other loved family members and cherished friends.
